11:02 am
2% was the forecast. the other is the greek number from spain and germany, all below that is eurozone -- all below the eurozone. does that put some discussion it to play when it comes to the balance sheet? ecb, germans hoping -- with a mere zero deposit rate in connection taking place in germany as well. about winding down its bond buying program. german inflation number plays into that's nicely. let's get to spain gdp. look at that .7% maintaining the same pace of growth. below the .8% in the first two quarters, the government

11:06 am
one other item to mention is we just got some headlines that was set to chose cash said to have chosen the nyc. -- set to have chosen the -- they don't show much reaction to that. that hotly anticipated ipo. vonnie: thank you for that. we really appreciate it. a headline now, the president will visit on thursday -- visit wisconsin on thursday. -- visit wisconsin on thursday to talk about the economy. we did get in -- we did get an executive directive. there will be two regulation rollbacks for every regulation.
11:07 am
mark: let's get to the controversial travel ban. global reaction from foreign leaders. chancellor angela merkel had this to say earlier. >> the necessary fight against terrorism does not justify in any way a blanket suspicion against people of a certain faith and people of the muslim faith, or people from a certain origin. now, tonying us kushne -- it is a tricky one. you speak out you risk drawn fire from trump. if you don't you have employees up in arms. it is a delicate balance. guest: i don't think there is an easy answer here for chief executives. many of whom made personally be upset about this order.
11:08 am
this is a president who has no qualms about taking on businesses directly and individually in a very forceful way, whether that is on twitter or elsewhere. large company does not want to be on the wrong side of the white house a must it is absolutely necessary. we did see the tech sector speak up quite be humanly -- quite vehemently. a lot of companies are staying silent. vehemently. >> to be expect them to stay silent on this? here you go, there it is. we have many employees from the main countries. we do business all over the region. it will continue. continue to essentially work with the u.s. administration.
11:09 am
it was a delicate balancing act. he says lots of things about the value of diversity, that ge is proud to employ people from all over the world. what you will not find is any specific criticism of this policy. it is indicative of this take thisl -- indicative of tricky balancing act. one of them is policy, the other is the implementation of the policy. i have been seeing the of limitation, which has been very confusing, which is what gives them real cause. to ask you about global leader reactions. we got some reaction out of africa. of reaction from countries that know a lot about this kind of thing, particularly angela merkel. is right, she has doubled down today.
11:10 am
there was a statement from her spokesman over the weekend. but merkel herself stepped out today and basically said at a news conference this measure from the white house is discriminatory against muslims. pale ifway beyond the you're talking about fighting terrorism, which trump said today. it is not in tune with international obligations to help refugees. this is very much in tune with the stands she has taken, which trump has vilified throughout european refugee crisis. vonnie: what about european companies? obviously there is a lot of u.s. multinationals commenting. we just heard from tony about leaders in different countries commenting.
11:11 am
do the places where those companies are based, are they are worriedf they about this executive action in the u.s.? guest: we haven't heard from a lot of european companies. european countries are largely staying out what is rightly an , i doan domestic debate think it is worth emphasizing every big american company is by definition a big global company at places like google and goldman sachs have tens of thousands of employees all over the world. they have to consider the views of those employees as well. >> how does this play into the election merkel will essentially ?attle the social democrat that is the big news as of last week. schultz saying when
11:12 am
it comes to trump's immigration policy and how is that playing into the election later this ear? guest: social democrats are the junior partner in merkel's government, critical more so than merkel. but it is hard to be critical with the chancellor of the biggest economy saying that the united states is wrong and taken a misstep. is veryultz said today interesting and it is something that merkel has not articulated. there are forces out and he cited trump and nigel farage , putting the eu at risk of destruction and he followed on by saying this is germany's biggest market. we are one of the world's top three exporters. he was talking about the
11:13 am
discriminatory issue or migration issue. direct economic argument than merkel would surely agree with if asked. mark: bloombergs germany government editor in the berlin bureau. we will hear more from the chief executive. we will get more on the trump ban as policies are impacting business. donohoe hastney more from our newsroom. courtney: resident trump will announce his choice to the -- choice to fill the supreme court seat. spoke in a meeting with small business leaders. president trump: the decision i have made, very big decision on the united states up, that is going to be announced tomorrow

11:18 am
manager fixed income strategist at oppenheimer funds. is there likely to be too much change between now and the and of the week as to what those three major central banks are doing. >> i think there have been a couple of people who think that maybe we are nearing lift off as we get the fiscal stimulus packages. maybe the fed could go faster. and i think the ecb side could be interesting. -- startrt hitting at hinting at not a continuation, that can also be a big market mover. to the federals reserve, there is a big banner in the sense they have no idea what fiscal policy they are going to get. and it may not even happen until 2018.
11:19 am
>> that is the reason why i think the federal reserve is going to air on the side of caution. i do think we will get three hikes that it will go until the end of the year. hike theis an earlier federal reserve can respond. do for their projections are much faster growth than in higher inflation policy in the u.s.. think you have to give it the first 100 days. >> the fed is waiting for the full impact of the trump policy. you look at equities, i know you are above that. are we beginning to discount the potential negative side of trump qualities today? >> i think people are going to be talking more and more about what is the fed's action function to these various policies? if you policies that end up
11:20 am
harming growth, then the federal reserve is likely to be much easier. it is unclear what policies are coming out of the administration. that chatter still on the market. on the other side you still have people that think the fed is not going to hike this year at all. i think that is being too pessimistic. this morning that the inflation is near the fed's target of one point seven percent. right now corn inflation is 1.7%. then the federal reserve might speed up just a little bit. glaxo have the german inflation data today, which was 1.9% in three -- one .9%, strongest in three and a half years. 1.9%, the strongest in 3.5 years. are we seeing a shift in the debates? guest: i think that is what the markets are looking for.
11:21 am
what mario draghi talked about in the press conference and the timing about when we are going to start thinking about it, if he hands that 2018 may be off the table in the not-too-distant future, then clearly the markets are not going to like that. there are going to be higher yields with the german boon. less than 1%, they have a lot of room to move higher. >> you see chart 2693 is the -- ar index and then how far is it? at -- i think we conceals we can see yields at 3%. there's one more leg up on the dollar here. at some point in the not-too-distant future there will be some impetus that is likely to change the direction of the dollar, particularly market currencies.
11:22 am
that may be mario draghi talking about the program. >> the euro could suffer tremendously? >> the other way around. if the ecb is talking about getting rid of the program with a stronger euro policy. that would mean stronger euro. >> where would it go? is not going to end up -- we are probably going up to 120. two orcould probably see three figures of mario draghi suggests that. ahead, boris johnson speaking in parliament about trump's emigration -- trumps immigration order. he's going to explain what it for dual citizens paid he says it is a highly controversial order.
